AVG 2016’s scans are 3 times faster than previous versions. AVG Smart Scanning works while you’re away and runs in low-priority mode when you return.

AVG Smart Scanning makes sure you can work and play without being interrupted. It starts scanning in high-priority mode whenever you leave your PC and switches to low-priority mode, using minimal resources, every time you move your mouse or push a key on your keyboard.
